GeForce GTX 1050 Ti vs GeForce GTS 250
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 1050 Ti |
| 75 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTS 250 . |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Supports PhysX |
| Supports G-Sync |
| Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Pascal), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider GeForce GTS 250 |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
| PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor |
HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Based on theoretical specifications.
